BLACK MIRROR 0:
territory
Black
Mirror is a new
research network
that seeks to
examine ways in
which the occult and
the esoteric are at
the heart of art
practice, both now,
and throughout the
modernist period.
This is the first of
a 12 volume
peer-reviewed series
that seeks to
re-examine the
contested
territories of both
the arts and the
esoteric, which are
inhabited by
artists, occult
practitioners and
academics alike… [more]

The Colours of Western Esotericism
Jesse
Bransford
Wednesday
22nd October
2014
£7.00 2hrs
For esoteric artists
colour has
enormous
potential for
facilitating
lateral thinking
and free
association. As
a history of the
idea of colours
from antiquity
to the present,
the workshop
will rely
primarily on
colour ‘systems’
articulated in
Agrippa’s Three
Books of
Occult
Philosophy
and the work of
the Hermetic
Order of the
Golden Dawn. As
a hands on
practium, the
workshop will
weave
participants down a
path towards an
understanding of
colour that will
enable novel
constructions
and enhance
one’s visual
and/or esoteric
practice.
